@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:
People have asked me if I’m genuinely looking for dialogue on here. It’s a fair question. I haven’t completely answered it for myself yet. But if the answer turns out to be “no”, what does that mean? What’s the responsible thing to do with that truth?
@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:
I rarely set out to be an asshole. So I’ve had to explore this. The truth is I hate the way twitter has conditioned people to engage. It rubs me the wrong way. I can’t blame people. But I’ve also put up a bunch of defense mechanisms against interactions I find frustrating.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:
But this is where I have to do the most self-reflection. People get a lot of “insights” from reading my tweets. But when they naturally want to engage with me further one-on-one, that experience is less positive for them. They find out I’m also kind of an asshole.
@LolOverruled ("Alex Peter") replied to a tweet by @LolOverruled:
There are many reasons people have shitty political opinions but maybe the most unifying one is basic comfort. It’s just a conversation topic, not like, a real thing they have to worry about
@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:
But I’m also examining the flipside of that coin. A lot of people are very kind in telling me they get a lot out of following me. Finding ways to express what I’m learning out loud so other people might also learn. That always matters to me.
@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:
I say all of this to say that I’m asking myself if I’m finding things on twitter that still push me to grow in the ways I want/need to. I’m not sure. It doesn’t feel like it lately.
@LolOverruled ("Alex Peter") wrote:
If your life is pretty good as in your basic needs are met and you feel ok about your personal future, then thinking too much about politics is just a stress. In part this is because if you think too hard you realize you actually have to do things and who wants to do that
@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:
I think that’s the experience that has changed the most for me. Unfortunately I’m not going to talk about that in depth either. Because we know that adversaries of social justice love to pounce on any intra-community critiques. I’m not interested in that.
@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:
I went through my awakening some time ago. It was a long and painful process. And a personal one. But I somehow decided that I was gonna use twitter to share and process what I was going through. It seemed to resonate with a lot of people, and here we are.
@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:
Folks often ask me how I ended up with so many followers. Especially because I don’t seem to value that status, nor do I actively cultivate it. That came from social justice twitter. (Yes I know that’s not really a thing.)

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:
Even thought I talk about management a lot, I never really connected with manager twitter either. The prevailing management culture right now is not one I subscribe to. And I can feel that friction when I share what I think we’re getting wrong.
@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:
I think a big part of this too is I’ve been a manager for a long time. So the things that used to matter in tech matter a lot less to me. I found myself uninterested in “pure tech” conversations. I don’t want to talk about tech outside of the context of what it’s trying to do.
@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:
Tech twitter has changed a lot. It’s much more diverse, which is what we set out to do. I think it’s mostly a good change. But the result is I can’t really find my people anymore.
@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:
I want to share a few of the things that have led to me grappling with these questions.
First and foremost, I don’t think I recognize a community that I’m part of on here anymore. The communities I used to be a part of have been fractured to the point of being unrecognizable.
@polotek ("Marco Rogers") wrote:
I was talking to @operaqueenie today about twitter. We have both been doing some thinking about whether we’re still getting what we want out of coming here. I think for me that is also coupled with asking myself if what I’m putting into it is net positive.

Changes in the Core Team
We want to say thanks to three people who recently have decided to step back from the Core Team:
- Steve Klabnik is leaving the Core Team and the Security Response Working Group.
Steve started with Rust more than 9 years ago.
He was the primary author of the Rust Programming Language book and part of the core team since 2014. He has been running the @rustlang Twitter account and as such formed a lot of the “voice” of the project.
Steve will now be able to focus on using Rust instead of making Rust. - Florian Gilcher is stepping back from all of his project positions.
He became a Core Team observer in 2019 and a full Core Team member in 2020.
He also served as a project director on the Rust foundation board.
Before all of that he was part of the Community Team since 2015.
As he's focusing on his company and taking on other business obligations, he is making space for others in the project. - Pietro Albini is leaving the Core Team to focus on other parts of the project, including the Infrastructure Team and the Security Response Working Group. He joined the Core Team in late 2019, shortly after becoming a co-lead of the Infrastructure Team, but the amount of work in the Core Team made it hard for him to spend enough time on his other roles in the project.
We're thankful for Steve's, Florian's and Pietro's contributions to the Core Team & the Rust project in the past and we’re looking forward to any contributions they will still make in the future.

Apple adds unlisted apps to its App Store
Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge
Apple will now let developers distribute unlisted apps through the App Store that only users with a direct link can access (via MacRumors). While unlisted apps aren’t discoverable by the general public through search results, App Store categories, charts, or recommendations, they’re available to administrators via the Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager.
Unlisted apps are ideal for “limited audiences”
Apple notes that unlisted apps are ideal for “limited audiences,” such as guests at a special event, members of an organization, research study participants, or a specific group of employees. To make an app unlisted and obtain a link, developers will first need to submit a request to Apple.
Apps that have only been approved for...
